Tips

The island of Barthelasse is a haven of peace and greenery located between two cities and also between two departments.

There are market gardeners, a pretty little forest, a swimming pool, a large campsite, quiet alleys.

It is from this island that you will have the best possible view of the city of the Popes and the Saint-Bénezet bridge (better known as the Pont d'Avignon).

La Barthelasse is good for family walks or gravel

Between Orange and Avignon, the ViaRhôna bike route actually is far away from the Rhône river, and not very pleasant near or on the highway. Here is a more rural, river route with views of several castles along the way, on a large island:
Set on the Rhône river between Avignon and Villeneuve lès Avignon, Barthelasse Island is a relaxing heaven of peace and greenery just a few minutes walk from these two cities. One of the largest river islands in Europe, it's eight kilometres (5 miles) long and three kilometres (2 miles) wide at its widest point and spans 700 hectares (1,730 acres). Good spot to escape from the tourist crowds. Barack Obama and his family spent part of their summer vacation here in 2019.
